The first settlers in the territory came in 1869 Only one year later Marshall employed its first physician and druggist In the following years Marshall saw four more doctors and three separate hospitals two of which are once again private homes in Marshall

Constructed with a donation from the Weiner family and a city bond the 56bed Louis Weiner Memorial Hospital opened its doors on May 25 1950 Expansion in 1963 created an attached nursing home As Marshall grew and prospered ground was broken for construction of a new hospital and doctors clinic complex and on June 1 1977 Weiner Memorial Medical Center opened The name change reflected its combined facilities the hospital the long term care facility and the emergency care center HomeCare services were added in 1986 HomeCare Medical Equipment for the Home and CareerGear Uniforms were moved off the hosital campus to a Main Street location in 1998 and relocated to East College Drive in 2003

In 2004 the medical center formed a partnership with Avera Health to bring more physicians and services to the region To reflect this partnership the facility was renamed Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center The hospital retained the name Avera Louis Weiner Memorial Hospital Home Health Services was renamed Avera Marshall Home Health Services And the nursing home became Avera Morningside Heights Care Center When the city was platted the section of town where the hospital and nursing home were eventually built was referred to as Morningside Heights The words quotCare Centerquot better reflect the type of care that is provided which includes short stays and extended stays as well as serving both younger clientele and the elderly Avera Morningside Heights Care Center underwent remodeling to create private rooms for all residents as well as a dementia unit with residents moving into the new areas in the fall of 2004
